Brian Ler on WNYC and we will end today with a little 10 minute Friday the 13th call in on the question,

what's a superstition that you don't actually believe in but you live by it anyway?

What's a superstition that you don't actually believe in but you live by it anyway? What's a superstition that you don't actually believe in, but you live

by it anyway? 212-433 W-N-YC, 212-433-9-6-9-2, call or text? I don't believe in any superstitions,

but I have one by abide-by abide by anyway. I abide by anyway.

I'll share it a minute. But think about some of the things like this out there in the world.

How many buildings don't have a 13th floor? Do you think architects and developers, really a lot of

them think it would be bad luck for someone to live there or work there? No, but maybe in that

case it's about property values because other people who don't actually believe it's bad luck

won't want to live or rent there. Maybe they could offer a 13th floor discount. But what about for

you? Would you live on the 13th floor? Or what's a superstition that you don't actually believe in,

but you live by it anyway? That's the question. 212-433, W-NYC, 212, 433-9-6-9-2, call or text.

A few people I know contributed ones, knowing I was going to do this today,

one person wrote, the one that I find myself doing, I have no idea really why or where I learned

it, is you kiss your hand and tap the roof of the car if you're driving, and you go through

a yellow light. I think it's a tiny wish for good luck, they wrote.

Someone else ever since watching Drugstore Cowboy in which the superstition against a hat on a

bed plays a part and does lead to death, I found myself avoiding that. I'd never heard of it

until the movie, but I guess it's a thing, writes that person. So listeners, what about you? What's a

superstition that you don't actually believe in on this Friday the 13th by, but you live by it

anyway? Mine is that I shouldn't say out loud that I almost made it safely somewhere or sometimes to say, see you

tomorrow. You've probably never heard me say, talk to you tomorrow at the end of the show,
